VIBRATION IS FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT (BOTTOM AND SEATBACK) BOTH WHEN STOPPED AND WHEN DRIVING. VIBRATION IS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN IN DRIVE WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR IS STOPPED. WE HAVE CONCERNS OVER THE SAFE CONTROL OF THE CAR, GIVEN THIS VIBRATION. IN ADDITION, THE REAL ANNOYANCE OF THE VIBRATION MEANS WE TAKE OUR HANDS OFF THE WHEEL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, EXASCERBATING SAFETY CONCERNS. THIS CONDITION WAS THERE WHEN THE CAR WAS DRIVEN HOME AND HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY SERVICE CONSULTANT AT CURRY HONDA, ATLANTA.

I PURCHASED MY HONDA CR-V TOURING 2015 ON AUGUST 29, 2015,APPROXIMATELY FIVE WEEKS AGO. IT HAS A VIBRATION WHEN STOPPED WHILE IN DRIVE (LIKE AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN) IT ALSO HAS AN INTERMITTENT STRONG VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL ON HIGHWAYS. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE AND AS I SEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. THEY ALL SAY WHEN THEY TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER IT DOES NOT GET REPAIRED AND APPARENTLY HONDA IS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM NOW. BEING THAT I WORK,I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER AND SIT THERE KNOWING (FROM OTHER PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCES) THAT IT WILL NOT GET CORRECTED.

VEHICLE WILL NOT RESPOND WHEN FOOT IS PLACED ON THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD FROM A STOP SIGN OR SIGNAL LIGHT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL FOR UP TO 5 SECONDS. BASICALLY THERE IS A DELAY FROM WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED UNTIL THE VEHICLE RESPONDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN PAST 6 TO 7 WEEKS. THIS ACTION HAS HAPPENED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MOVE FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. I ESCAPED A NEAR REAR END COLLISION WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND.

THE CR-V VIBRATES WHEN STATIONARY IN PARK POSITION AND WHEN YOU DRIVE. IT REALLY SHAKES AS YOU DRIVE IN THE CITY STOPPING AT STOP SIGNS OR LIGHTS WHILE IN DRIVE. IT FEELS LIKE ENGINE COULD STOP. IT HAS A SLIGHT HESITATION UPON ACCELERATING. THIS IS WITH THE A/C OFF. THE A/C DISGUISES THE VIBRATION WHEN ON MOSTLY.

THE CAR VIBRATES A LOT AT IDLING. THIS IS A VEY COMMON OCCURRENCE IN ALL 2015 HONDA CR-V. THE EXCESS VIBRATIONS ARE ALSO FELT AT LOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP.

BOUGHT THE CRV 2015 2 WEEKS AGO AND FROM DAY 1 FELT THE VIBRATION WHEN ON RED LIGHTS AT FULL STOP. NEVER BOTHERED UNTILL COLD WEATHER CAME IN FEW DAYS AGO WHEN I OPERATED THE VEHICLE WITHOUT TURNING THE A/C ON. IT VIBRATES WITHIN FEW SECONDS OF PUTTING IT AT A FULL STOP FOR TRAFFIC/ RED SIGNALS. THE VIBRATION HAS BEEN COMPARED TO OTHER SIMILAR CLASS DIFFERENT BRANDED SUVS BUT NONE SHOWED SUCH BEHAVIOR. THE CAR FEELS LIKE A SPARK PLUG IS GONE WHEN IT SHAKES. ITS AN ABNORMAL ISSUE AND THE VIBRATION ALSO CAUSES THE SURPENTINE BELT PULLEY TO MAKE A LITTLE NOISE USUALLY WHICH WE SEE IN VERY OLD CARS HAVING WORN OUT PULLIES.

VEHICLE VIBRATES WHEN IDLING AND WHEN TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 - 55 MILES PER HOUR. HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR SOMETIME AND THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO COME UP WITH A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. IN SPITE OF THE VIBRATION PROBLEM WITH THE CRV, HONDA CONTINUES TO SELL THE CRV WITHOUT DISCLOSING THIS KNOWN DEFECT TO THE BUYING PUBLIC. WHILE HONDA SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, HOW CAN A BUYER KNOW THAT FOR SURE.

ABOUT 1-2X PER MONTH, AFTER CAR SITS FOR SEVERAL HOURS (AND POWER TRAIN IS COLD), VEHICLE WILL SHUDDER WHEN FIRST STARTING OUT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN IN REVERSE AND RIDING BRAKE AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. RPM DOES DROP TO ABOUT 500 RPM FOR ABOUT A SECOND, MAKING VEHICLE FEEL AS IF IT WILL STALL (SIMILAR TO NOT GIVING ENOUGH GAS WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION). ENGINE WILL THEN REV SLIGHTLY ABOVE INITIAL IDLE BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL. THROTTLE RESPONSE ALSO DIMINISHES FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTERWARD. DEALER FOUND NO TROUBLE CODES AND ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS WITH IDLE VIBRATION ISSUE. HOWEVER, FREQUENCY OF IDLE VIBRATION IS MUCH MORE REGULAR WITH THOSE WHO HAVE IT. CAR HAS NOT STALLED YET BUT ALWAYS THINK IT MIGHT. MY DAD HAS AN IDENTICAL VEHICLE AND HAS HAD SAME SHUDDERING ISSUE, THOUGH WITH MUCH LESS FREQUENCY.

VEHICLE VIBRATES BADLY WHEN AT IDLE IN DRIVE WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. VEHICLE ALSO VIBRATES WHEN RPM IS AROUND 2000 RPM WHEN MOVING. CAN BE FELT IN STEERING WHEEL, SEATS, DASHBOARD,AND FLOOR. HONDA ADMITS THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT NO REMEDY IN SITE AFTER 10 MONTHS. TWO VIDEOS FROM HONDA HAVE BEEN RELEASED SO FAR WITH NO SOLUTION AVAILABLE.

ON MAY 2ND, 2015, WE PURCHASED A 2015 HONDA CR-V. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE A WATER STAIN WAS NOTICED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE B PILLAR ROOF. PART OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT INCLUDED REMOVING THE STAIN THAT SEEMED TO BE FROM A PARTIALLY OPENED SUNROOF DURING SHIPPING. THE STAIN WAS REMOVED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL APPEARED TO BE RESOLVED. A SHORT TIME LATER ANOTHER WATER STAIN DEVELOPED IN THE SAME AREA. AGAIN THE STAIN WAS REMOVED AND THE VEHICLE CHECKED. AFTER THE CR-V'S THIRD VISIT TO THE SHOP IT WAS DETERMINED THAT AN "INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF SEAL SEALER" WAS USED IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE VEHICLE AT THE FACTORY. OUR HONDA HAD TO BE SENT TO AN OUTSIDE HONDA APPROVED BODY SHOP FOR REPAIRS. ON DISCOVERING THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM, WE NO LONGER HAD CONFIDENCE IN THE QUALITY OF OUR "NEW" VEHICLE. GIVEN THE FACT IT HAD SUSTAINED WATER DAMAGE MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAD TO BE TAKEN TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP TO BE PROPERLY REPAIRED WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES. WE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT WATER BEING TRAPPED BETWEEN THE MULTIPLE LAYERS OF METAL ROOF PANELS. IN TURN THAT COULD LEAD TO RUST, WHICH COULD LEAD TO THE RELEASE OF THE SEAM SEALER THAT HELPS PROVIDE THE RIGIDITY NEEDED FOR ROLLOVER CRASHES. ALSO, THE CONCERN OF MOLD DEVELOPING IN THE ROOF AND CARPET. UPON HEARING OUR CONCERNS THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO TRADE IN OUR WATER DAMAGED CR-V FOR A NEW ONE. WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES THIS CR-V ALSO DEVELOPED A ROOF LEAK. NOW THE DEALERSHIP AND BODY SHOP HAS HAD OUR CURRENT CR-V TWO WEEKS, TO FIX THE LEAKED CAUSED BY HONDA NOT USING ENOUGH SEALER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ROOF PANELS AND RAIL STUDS.HONDA IS NOW USING OUR CR-V AS FIELD REPORT CASE STUDY TO SUBMIT TO HONDA ENGINEERS. WE WOULD LIKE HONDA TO ISSUE A RECALL OUT OF CONCERN FOR OTHER CR-V OWNERS. MANY OWNERS MAY BE UNAWARE OF MOLD DANGERS AND STRUCTURAL ROOF WEAKNESS.

CAR WAS PURCHASED ON 7/1/15. APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE, AROUND 500 MILES, THE VEHICLE BEGAN EXPERIENCING STRONG VIBRATIONS WHEN IN DRIVE GEAR AT IDLE (I.E., STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT). ENTIRE BODY OF CAR SHUDDERS SIGNIFICANTLY CAUSING DISCOMFORT TO PASSENGERS AND NAUSEA IN SOME CASES. THE PROBLEM TYPICALLY BEGINS AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 5-10 MINUTES, AND WORSENS THE LONGER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING. HONDA SERVICE SAYS THAT THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND DEALER REFUSES TO PROVIDE A REFUND.
